Until

On
Thursday, 25 July, the Pope will receive the keys to the city of Rio

participating in the WYD at the Quinta da Boa Vista Park at 10:00am.
At 11:30am he will meet with some juvenile detainees in the St.
Joaquim Palace of the Archbishop. From the central balcony of that
palace, the Pope will pray the Angelus at noon. At 12:15pm he will
greet the organization committee and patrons of the 28th WYD and then
will have lunch, still at the Archbishop's Palace, with a group of
youth. At 6:00pm a Via Crucis will be held with the youth along the
Copacabana beachfront.
On
Saturday, 27 July, the 28th WYD will open with Mass celebrated with
the bishops and with priests, religious, and seminarians in Rio de
Janeiro's St. Sebastian Cathedral. After that, the Pope will meet
with Brazil's leaders at the Municipal Theatre. Upon that meeting's
conclusion he will have lunch with Brazil's cardinals, the presidency
of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil, bishops from the
region, and the papal entourage in the refectory of the Sumare Study
Centre. At 7:30 pm a prayer vigil will be held with the youth at the
Campus Fidei of Guaratiba.
On
Sunday, 28 July, the Pope will celebrate Mass for the 28th WYD at the
Campus Fidei. That afternoon he will meet with CELAM's (the Latin
American Episcopal Council) coordination committee at the Sumare
Study Centre. The Holy Father will leave Sumare shortly before 5:00pm
to meet with the WYD volunteers and, at 6:30pm, the pontiff's
farewell ceremony will take place at the Galeao–Antonio Carlos
Jobim International Airport. The Pope will take off from Rio de
Janeiro at 7:00pm and his plane will land in Rome on Monday, 29 July,

PRESS
OFFICE COMMUNIQUE ON COLLABORATION BETWEEN CONGREGATION FOR DOCTRINE
OF THE FAITH AND CONGREGATION FOR INSTITUTES OF CONSECRATED LIFE
Vatican
City, 7 May 2013 (VIS) – “The Congregation for the Doctrine of
the Faith (CDF) and the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated
Life and Societies of Apostolic Life have for some time been
collaborating on a renewed theological vision of Religious Life in
the Church. The concern of the Holy See, expressed partially in the
Doctrinal Assessment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious
in the United States, is motivated by a desire to support the noble
and beautiful vocation of Religious so that the eloquent witness of
Religious Life may prosper in the Church to the benefit of future
generations.”
“The
initiatives of the Holy See in this area are concerned primarily with
the faith of the Church and its expression in Religious Life. The
Church’s faith—in the loving plan of the Father who sent his Son
to be our Saviour, in the inspiration of Sacred Scripture, in the
gift of grace through the Sacraments, in the nature of the Church
guided by the Holy Spirit—this faith is at the heart of the
Evangelical Counsels. It motivates the passion for justice shared by
so many Religious women and men, and it seeks ever to be expressed in
active charity towards those most in need.”
“Recent
media commentary on remarks made on Sunday, 5 May, during the General
Assembly of the International Union of Superiors General by Cardinal
Joao Braz de Aviz, Prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of
Consecrated Life, has suggested a divergence between the CDF and the
Congregation for Religious in their approach to the renewal of
Religious Life. Such an interpretation of the cardinal’s remarks is
not justified. The prefects of these two Congregations work closely
together according to their specific responsibilities and have
collaborated throughout the process of the Doctrinal Assessment of
the LCWR. Archbishop Gerhard Muller, Prefect of the Congregation for
the Doctrine of the Faith, and Cardinal Braz de Aviz met yesterday
and reaffirmed their common commitment to the renewal of Religious
Life, and particularly to the Doctrinal Assessment of the LCWR and
the program of reform it requires, in accordance with the wishes of
the Holy Father.”
TELEGRAM
ON DEATH OF SENATOR GIULIO ANDREOTTI
Vatican
City, 7 May 2013 (VIS) - Today, Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio
Bertone, S.D.B., sent a telegram of condolence on behalf of the Holy
Father to Livia Danese Andreotti, widow of Senator Giulio Andreotti
who died yesterday at the age of 94.
“Having
learned the news of the death, at the end of a long and fruitful
life, of your beloved husband, Senator Giulio Andreotti, I would like
to express to you and your family my heartfelt participation in your
mourning for the loss of such an authoritative protagonist in Italian
political life, such a valued servant of institutions, such a man of
faith and devout son of the Church. I assure you of his fervent
remembrance in my prayers and I invoke the comfort of Christian hope
for all who are mourning his demise.”
